Swan Candidates Forum
Online EventCCWA and Climate Action Now are proud to present our Swan Candidates Forum for 2022!
We know that environmental and humanitarian issues are intertwined - pollution causes health issues and recent floods over east have cut off food supplies. But with the 2022 Federal Election just around the corner, do you know how the parties and candidates stack up on these environmental and social issues?
Come along and hear direct from candidates in the Swan Electorate presenting their party's plans to tackle environmental issues, climate change, the cost of living, affordable housing and poverty at our online webinar and Q&A forum on Wednesday 4 May 2022.
This is your opportunity to ask questions and hear first hand what all sides of politics are doing to ensure action on issues that affect both our people and the planet.
We are proudly hosting this event with the Uniting Church Australia (UCA), Western Australian Council of Social Service (WACOSS) and Shelter WA.

Bird Painting Art Workshop

Bird Painting Art Workshop
Victoria Park Arts Centre12 Kent StreetVictoria Park,In this bird painting introduction workshop, I will share my study of birds, that will cover the bird drawing theory, bird anatomy, analyzing feather group, and beak and feet drawings. When the theory is understood, the drawing will be a lot easier. We also learn how to shade and colour a feather and a bird.
I have painted many birds in different colours to show. Through these samples I will talk about how I have painted them and teach how to observe birds. In the end, everyone can finish an artwork, a feather or a bird. We will be in an easy and relaxing atmosphere to study. I believe everyone will enjoy.
Tickets $25
